I agree that Plain Text Markup is usually better than XML even with a good XML editor and a simple schema. But few people are used to Plain Text Markup (excepted in some scientific area maybe) and it is error prone. This is why some user-friendly PTM or XML based editors are needed. Good user-friendly editor will help in spreading standard. OpenOffice is a good example for ODF but this has never happened to XML or any other markup language. Olive
